Bioactivity | Otenabant is a potent and selective cannabinoid receptor CB1 antagonist with Ki of 0.7 nM, exhibits 10,000-fold greater selectivity against human CB2 receptor. | ||||||||||||
Target | Ki: 0.7 nM (CB1) | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Otenabant HCl has low affinity with Ki of 7.6 μM for human CB2 receptors[1]. Otenabant HCl inhibits CB1 receptor with moderate unbound microsomal clearance, low hERG affinity, and adequate CNS penetration[2]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | Otenabant acutely stimulates energy expenditure in rats and decreases the respiratory quotient indicating a metabolic switch to increased fat oxidation. Otenabant (10 mg/kg, p.o.) promotes a 9%, vehicle adjusted weight loss in a 10 day weight loss study in diet-induced obese mice[1]. Otenabant HCl reverses four cannabinoid agonistmediated behaviors (locomotor activity, hypothermia, analgesia, and catalepsy) following administration of the synthetic CB1 receptor agonist CP-55940. Otenabant HCl exhibits dose-dependent anorectic activity in a model of acute food intake in rodents and increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation[2]. | ||||||||||||
